Green Brook Fitness Court Launch Event Scheduled For July 29

GREEN BROOK, NJ — The official launch of the new outdoor fitness court at Arthur L. Lewis Park is set for July 29.

Created with adults of all ages and fitness levels in mind, the court allows users to leverage their body weight to get a complete workout. It is supported by an app that serves as a coach-in-your-pocket-style platform.

“Having a free and easily accessible Fitness Court at our newly built Arthur L. Lewis Park will continue to benefit Green Brook residents and people from surrounding communities for many years to come," said township business administrator Kelly Cupit.

The court's launch event is to take place 4 to 7 p.m. and will be free and open to the public. There will be a DJ, children's entertainment and interactive educational displays on healthy living.

The township was awarded a $30,000 grant from the National Fitness Campaign, a nationwide consulting organization that partners with cities and schools to plan, build and fund healthy infrastructure.

In 2020, FitRadio awarded a $10,000 grant to further support the fitness court. In addition to this funding, the project also got a township match and a sponsorship from the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset.
